Do Obese Patients Have Worse Outcomes in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgeries? A Meta-Analysis.
A meta-analysis study. ⋯ Nonobese patients undergoing ASD corrective surgery are associated with fewer implant-related complications, a lower EBL, shorter LOS, and a higher likelihood of being discharged home compared with their obese counterparts.

Cohort study. ⋯ Overall, there were 37 (33.3%) patients with CP who had a major complication within 30 days after spinal surgery. Lower SAS, with the 0 to 4 group being the cutoff, were associated with significantly higher complication rates than higher SAS groups.

Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease, accounting for 1% of all breast cancers diagnosed in the United States. The rarity of MBC has limited the development of treatment algorithms specific to men. Thus, the standard of care has been mastectomy. The safety and feasibility of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in MBC are unclear. This study assessed whether overall survival outcomes, local recurrence, and postoperative complications differed between MBC patients who underwent conservative surgery or mastectomy. ⋯ There is no difference in the 5-year OS and LR rate between MBC patients who undergo BCS or mastectomy. The postoperative complication rate was higher with mastectomies. We conclude that BCS for unicentric male breast cancer is feasible and preferred for T1 and T2 cancers.
